It made a lot more than I expected and it’s definitely got a kick. Now I have to figure out other ways to use it because I definitely have more than I anticipated.
Stacey Watkins
This recipe is AMAZING! I used only 1 tsp of red pepper flakes and apple cider vinegar instead of white vinegar. I’ve served with brie as well as goat cheese… I definately will be making this again
Sean Horton
I make a traditional pepper jelly every year. It’s a family favorite. But OMG! Your quick and easy version is soooooo good! And I will be making this recipe forever ❤️ thank you Trisha.
Joseph Hansen
Yes. I made this recipe and it was just right! I needed it for a Christmas party and wasn’t interested in making batches. Thank you!
Carlos Hart
Can you use this recipe and put in a crockpot with meatballs for a party?

This is a wonderful recipe for anyone that wants to take a stab at making red pepper jelly but doesn’t want to master the technique of home canning or buying the necessary equipment. I used apple cider vinegar instead of the white based on reviews of other red pepper jelly recipes that I found on the Internet. Also, I added a half of a finely diced Serrano chili after I puréed the other ingredients because I wanted a little more heat. Used the jelly on Bobby Flay’s pizza dough and topped it with goat cheese, pieces of cooked applewood smoke bacon, and topped with baby arugula tossed in olive oil as the pizza came out of the oven. The jelly would be great on cream cheese with crackers or mixed in mayonnaise spread on a sandwich. Thanks Trisha! You’re awesome!

I made this and took it to a BBQ. Was a big hit, everyone loved it. I’m going to make it with pineapple jam this week to eat with ribs. It’s great as a wing sauce too. Thanks Trisha!!!

Absolutely love this ! Can this also be canned like other things and kept in the pantry ?
Kimberly Walker
Wonderful flavor from a simple recipe!

This has a spiciness that I love and I think it tastes better cold. It gets thicker over night in the fridge. I think the red pepper flakes were my favorite spice to add to this.
